Spectators (Zuschauer)

Plot Summary

By turns whimsical and frightening, SPECTATORS takes us inside a crowded movie theater, watching the watchers as they respond to what’s on the screen. A flurry of images and sounds charts the ever-changing emotional reactions of the audience, who react less as individuals than as a large organism. As it entertains us with its swooping movements and endlessly inventive variations, the film also warns us about loss of individuality and the madness of crowds. “A biting parable about public reaction.” – Chris Robinson, Unsung Heroes of Animation
